Chapter 2408: Down On His Luck
Su Mo walked along the pa.s.sageway and came to a crossroads. He chose to take the path on the left.
He had decided to search the area before moving on to the next.
However, someone appeared in front of the pa.s.sageway when he stepped out.
The slave was a youth from the human race. He was skinny and small in size. His eyes were glittering and he was, apparently, a ruthless person.
“Stop where you are!” The skinny youth blocked Su Mo’s way and sized him up, asking, “Are you not Long Teng’s slave? Have you found any treasure?”
The skinny youth knew Su Mo. After all, Long Teng was well-known in the Dragon Tribe and almost everyone knew him.
As Su Mo was Long Teng’s slave and he was usually with Long Teng, everyone had noticed him.
“No!”
Su Mo shook his head and asked, “What about you?”
“No?” The skinny youth did not answer to Su Mo’s question. He squinted his eyes and did not seem to believe what Su Mo had said.
After pondering for a while, the skinny youth said, “Take out your storage ring and s.p.a.cial Device and let me have a look!”
“Hoho!” Su Mo laughed when he heard what the skinny youth had said. He had to be kidding! He had asked Su Mo to hand his storage devices over to him.
“Leave your treasures behind and I will let you go!” Su Mo said impa.s.sively. He had decided to rob the youth of all the treasures that he possessed.
Su Mo was not being covetous. Since the skinny youth had had the audacity to rob him, he had to be prepared to be robbed as well.
Moreover, every martial artist would possess many items. No one could differentiate which items were the treasures that he had obtained in the maze.
Instead of attempting to differentiate, one might as well take everything.
“Presumptuous!”
The skinny youth was enraged when he heard what Su Mo had said and he attacked Su Mo without another word.
Five rays of green light shot out from his fingers when he stretched out his hand.
The five rays of light were not sword radiance but five Spiritual Snakes. In an instant, they were winding around Su Mo.
That was one of the ways to trap a person. Once a person was bound by the green rays of light, he would be immobilized and the Power Source in his body would be sealed. This method was overbearing.
“Come over!” Su Mo said impa.s.sively. He stretched out his hand to catch hold of the youth.
All of a sudden, his hand turned into a huge Flaming Hand.
Ever since Su Mo stepped into Dragon City, he had disintegrated the Chaotic Power Source in his body unless he was cultivating. That was a safety precaution that he had taken.
The skinny youth was not powerful and it was not necessary for him to use his Chaotic Power Source or the Five Elements Power Source. The Fire-based Power Source was good enough to deal with him.
The minute the Flaming Hand was out, it burnt the five Spiritual Snakes and turned them into ashes.
The powerful hand caught hold of the skinny youth and captured him.
Ah!
The skinny youth cried out when his body was captured by the Flaming Hand. The fire properties were so powerful that the flames burned the protective Power Source outside his body.
Whoos.h.!.+
Su Mo withdrew his hand and pulled the skinny youth to him.
At lightning speed, he took the storage device from the skinny youth.
The skinny youth’s storage device was a storage ring.
“You have been eliminated!”
The Power Source in Su Mo’s palm surged and gushed into the skinny youth’s body, throwing him out of the maze.
Ah!
The skinny youth cried out and in the next instant, the mysterious power in the area twirled around him and sent him out of the maze.
Seeing that the skinny youth had been sent out, Su Mo took the storage ring and started to look into it.
“He is so poor!” Su Mo was speechless when he saw what was inside the storage ring.
Other than two swords, there was nothing else. There was not even a Dawn Stone found in the storage ring.
That was indeed the only storage device that the skinny youth possessed.
Has he not brought his treasures with him? Su Mo reckoned that there was a possibility that the skinny youth had not brought his treasures with him.
Some of the slaves would not bring their treasures and resources along with them for fear of being robbed.
Su Mo was at a loss for words and he let out a sigh. He continued to move along the pa.s.sageway.
…
Long Teng remained calm as he watched the scene outside the palace.
He was not the least bit worried. Given Su Mo’s and Si Kongyan’s strength, no one in the maze was a match for them.
“Long Teng, your slave is extraordinary!” Long Ye said flatly as he glanced at Long Teng.
“It looks like the two slaves of yours cultivate the Way of the Fire!” Long Lie commented with a smile.
“They are good!” Long Teng nodded and did not say another word.
Long Cheng looked pale. Long Teng’s slave was indeed extraordinary.
However, although the slave had performed well so far, he was nothing compared to Yan Kong.
“Sister Shuangshuang, has your slave obtained a treasure?” Long Lie asked all of a sudden.
The treasures were hidden on the walls of the maze. The people outside the maze would not be able to discover them and only those in the maze could see them if they were near the treasures. They could then remove the treasures from the walls.
A moment ago, Long Shuangshuang’s slave had obtained a treasure.
Long Shuangshuang’s slave was a female and she looked beautiful. She was not from the human race.
A moment ago, the slave had obtained a treasure and it seemed to be a Spiritual Herb.
“This is only the beginning!”
Long Shuangshuang, who was in a blue and white dress, stood upright without showing any expression. She looked elegant.
“Sister Shuangshuang, your slave’s talent has way surpa.s.sed that of many slaves. I believe that she will be able to reap a good harvest!” Long Ye, who had a big build, looked impressed.
Long Shuangshuang’s slave was extraordinary. Her talent was almost comparable to that of a Favored One.
Back then, the slave had caused a commotion.
Long Shuangshuang smiled when she heard what Long Ye had said. She was extremely pleased with her slave.
The slave was like a sister to her and her talent was only slightly inferior to that of Long Shuangshuang.
“Sister Shuangshuang, Bing’er and Ning Xue are quite good as well. You will get to see their performances later!” Long Lie told Long Shuangshuang with a smile.
The slaves that the people in the Dragon Tribe had hand-picked were geniuses. Although they were slaves in the Dragon Tribe, they would have been regarded as gifted geniuses if they had been in the less powerful forces.
In the maze.
Su Mo hastened his speed. He moved around the pa.s.sageways in a flash.
At the same time, he kept looking around for the treasures.
However, he was down on his luck. After searching around for about 10 minutes, he did not find any treasure.
The broad pa.s.sageway was empty and there was nothing around.
The maze was huge. During the 10 minutes, Su Mo met two people other than the skinny youth. However, he did not find any treasure in their storage devices.
